Chocolate and Oat No-Bake Cookies (Vegan)
Description
Chocolate and Oat No-Bake Cookies combine rolled oats with a warm mixture of coconut oil, peanut butter, almond milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt, heated to a rolling boil and simmered until thickened. This forms a sticky chocolate coating for the oats, which are then scooped into rounds and chilled to set.
The resulting cookies are chewy with the toasted oat texture complemented by rich chocolate and a hint of salt. The recipe omits eggs and dairy, aligning with vegan dietary preferences. Vanilla extract is optional for flavor enhancement.
Prepared on parchment paper and refrigerated for 30 minutes to an hour, the cookies firm up for easy handling and storage. They keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Coconut sugar can replace regular sugar to adjust the sweetness and maintain the recipe’s vegan character.
